The channel was originally a let's play channel run by two old school friends, Shaun and Jen [1][2]. Shaun began making videos about other YouTubers (such as LeafyIsHere [3] and CinemaSins [4]) in 2016, and soon after began making videos refuting the arguments of popular right-wing, alt-right [5] and anti-SJW YouTubers [6]. The videos became increasingly popular as a new wave of leftist youtubers (such as ContraPoints and Hbomberguy) began to gain traction on YouTube through their critiques of right-wing politics. Jen doesn't participate in these videos beyond occasionally drawing the thumbnail art [7][8], and eventually left for Twitch. By September 2017, the title of the Shaun and Jen Youtube channel was changed to simply "Shaun" (pending a new name), while Shaun's twitter handle and Twitch Channel still have Jen in the title [9][10].
The symbol of the channel is a human skull wearing sunglasses, allegedly in order to "reclaim the skull" from the alt-right (Davis Aurini, maker of The Sarkeesian Effect and Alt Right Dogs, keeps one on his bookshelf).
